I am 86 and my wife and I will probably be going to a ursing home someday. This so called right to fall law has us concerned. My wife's aunt fell from a wheelchair in a nursing home and broke her hip and died before it healed. This law should not be called a right to fall. No one needs a right to fall, we all fall by accident. It should be called taking away our rights to make our own decision. I don't call being strapped in a wheelchair restraints. I call it saving a person from possible injury or even death. The decision to be strapped should be made by the patient, family or caregiver, not by some law that doesn't even know the patient or know what condition they are in.
I find it odd that we have to to be strapped in a car seat for safety, but not in a wheelchair in a nursing home.
